great track

I have played the legend many times and it is always in great condition. Not long but a good test of golf. Views are amazing, especially during the fall colors. Unfortunately this round took 5 hours and 10 minutes to complete. Saw a ranger on hole 6 and then not again the rest of the day. This was disappointing because he talked to us on 6 about the backup ahead and was going to get the course moving.

Beautiful Northern MI golf

Very scenic course, trees resembling fall.
Nice open fairways with hazards in strategic locations for the long ball hitters.
Greens are super fast (even after aeration and sanding).
We will be returning to play this course again.

Our new favorite Michigan course

Beautiful, well maintained golf course. Presents some challenges, but still very playable. We couldn't wait to get to the next tee for every hole to see what view awaited us. We were not disappointed one time. My husband and I had a wonderful day of golf here.

Excellent course for the money

When you live in the middle of North Michigan golf country, it's hard to have a favorite course. However, of the six courses within a 15 minute drive, Hawks Eye is my personal favorite. Lots of water, beautiful rolling terrain, few parallel fairways, great views, and challenging enough to make you work. For value, they often have special deals and great twilight rates.

Beautiful and fun Northern MI course

Very nice course. Well layed out. There is never another hole next to one another. Plenty of forgiveness but not a 'easy' course.

Better than expected after reading reviews here

I went to hawks eye expecting horrible conditions from some if the reviews here. I was quite satisfied with the conditions I found here. Was it the best maintained course I've ever played? No, but nothing to keep me away. Course was wonderful with lots of elevation changes and scenic holes abound. Worth the stop to play. 17 is a beast
